I\'ve heard it might be a good idea to turn off \"compile for thumb\" in an iPhone target\'s settings to increase performance. I\'m having some trouble finding this setting thou
"Compile for Thumb" should be under Target/Get Info/GCC 4.2 - Code Generation. If it's not there (I'd be surprised if it's not), set the user-defined variable.
Keep in mind that this improves performance only under a narrow set of circumstances that you should understand before fiddling with it.
